Starting on March 6, the Hall of Fame Committee will begin accepting nominations through March 31. To nominate a candidate, you must be an alumni of The Cadets.

We would also like to invite all of our friends, family and alumni to our Hall of Fame Celebration and Cadets Kickoff in Clifton, N.J. Special recognition ceremonies are also planned at the Drum Corps: An American Tradition event in Clifton, N.J. and the DCI Tour of Champions event in Chester, Pa.
